Long-standing supporter Joe Shooman told the Daily Post: “It’s a complete dog’s dinner. Everyone knows the licence requirements before the season starts. Given we had a bit of a blip before and only won on appeal there is no excuse for our failure this time.

“The worst thing about it isn’t that we failed - but that ever since the current board took over we have been expecting something like this to happen. What a mess.

The FAW said it would not provide "specific reasons" for the licence refusal for reasons of "confidentiality".

In a statement issued on Thursday the club said: “On the field, we’ve finished third and off the field we find ourselves up to date with HMRC, VAT and PAYE, all wages, squad and staff, paid up to date, no football creditors, no pressing debt, stadium grants being matched by new investment to find ourselves now without a WPL licence for season 2018-2019.

“We will take stock of the situation over the next few days and make further announcements in due course. We will work with the relevant parties at the FAW to ensure we are never in this position in the future.”

Although guaranteed to finish at least third in the WPL, Bangor will be relegated and barred from participating in the end-of-season Europa League play-offs.
